                           ITEM 2.   DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

SALE OF MAJORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY

    On November 10, 1997, Egghead, Inc. ("Egghead") recapitalized its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Elekom Corporation , a Washington corporation ("Elekom"
or the "Company").  In accordance with the terms of a Series B Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement, Egghead and two venture capital firms, Hummer Winblad
Venture Partners ("Hummer") and Olympic Venture Partners ("OVP"), collectively
paid cash in the aggregate amount of $2.5 million to Elekom in exchange for an
aggregate 36,689,167 shares of Elekom Series B Preferred Stock.  In connection
with the purchase,   Hummer received a thirty percent (30%) interest in Elekom 
and OVP received a twenty percent (20%) interest in Elekom, with Egghead
retaining a twenty-five percent (25%) interest. 

    In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock
Exchange Agreement dated November 10, 1997, Egghead was issued 9,172,292 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock of Elekom as consideration for the cancellation of
the debt owed to Egghead by Elekom in the amount of $6,612,524.10.  No other
Series A Preferred Stock was issued.  

    Elekom is a producer of advanced business-to-business electronic commerce
systems whose main product, ELEKOM Procurement, streamlines the procurement
process within large corporations.  Elekom was incorporated on August 7, 1995
and prior to November 10, 1997, was wholly owned by Egghead.  George P. Orban, a
director of Elekom who is also the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board of Directors of Egghead, will remain on the Board of Directors of Elekom. 
One of the venture capital firms purchasing shares in Elekom pursuant to this
transaction, OVP, is also a shareholder of Egghead.
